WWE Superstar Shotzi recently heaped praise on her SmackDown colleague Bayley despite the two stars having a feud on TV.
Bayley and the rest of Damage CTRL inflicted a lot of punishment on Shotzi as they cut her hair after a match on SmackDown. This pushed the 31-year-old star to her limits. She shaved her hair, adopted a new edgy attitude, and has been terrorizing The Role Model ever since.
In a recent interview with WrestlingNewsCo, Shotzi broke character and explained that she shaved her head because she wanted to show solidarity with her sister undergoing chemotherapy. She was thankful that it was part of a storyline, and she got to work with Bayley, whom she saw as a role model. The star also thanked her fans who showed their support for her sister.
